Sorry, you're looking for Wolf Hollow. We do not have any wolves here.
Yes! As long as it is safe to do so. What we do is backup to the back of your driveway (furthest from the road) and start dumping the stone as we pull the truck forward towards the road. As long as there are no overhead wires, tree limbs, or obstacles, and we are on flat, solid ground, this shouldn't be a problem for our driver. We DO NOT smooth it out by hand afterwards.
Yes, if we can source it for you! We will do our best to try and find the plant you are looking for, but sometimes specific plants are hard to find. Please fill out this special order plant request form, and someone will get back to you about the plant you are looking for.

This is a complicated answer! It could depend on the variety of hydrangea you have. This is a great article that explains in detail about different reasons why your hydrangeas may not be blooming. Of course, you can always give us a shout if you want to talk it through with one of our knowledgeable employees!
You can, but we don't recommend it, especially if they are ceramic or porus in any way. The reason being, if water gets in the pot and it freezes, it will expand, and likely crack your pot. If you do not have anywhere to move your pots indoors, or under cover, at least set them upside down so that water is not going to get stuck in them and freeze.
No, we do not sell water plants.
We are trying to get in clam shells for this season. If they're available, they will be listed on our website to order.
We sure can! Our nursery staff is very knowledgeable and eager to help you pick out something that will be just right for you! There are lots of factors to think about - how much sun does the area get, is it sandy soil, is it near the ocean, is it in a swampy area - so leave it to our nursery staff to help you pick out something that will work in your area.
Yes, we do!
Ipswich and Gloucester are in hardiness zone 6b.
Typically between May 11 - May 20. Although, it can vary depending on the town you live in. Here is a good reference map for Massachusetts.
It depends on your plant. If it is a houseplant, usually once a week. If it is a container planting or a hanging basket, usually once a day. If it is a newly planted perennial, tree or shrub, a daily deep watering for the first two weeks is necessary, then every other day for two weeks. We strongly recommend hand watering for the first two weeks, and not relying on irrigation (especially overhead irrigation). After that, soak your plants roots twice a week using low water pressure or a rain wand, gradually backing off to once a week, until late fall. Please view our Watering Instructions our planting reference guide for more detailed instructions. Of course, rainfall could be a factor. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to one of our employees. We're happy to help!
No, we do not accept any fill or yard waste.
No, we cannot dump in multiple dump spots.
Of course! We love dogs!
